The realistic painting shows cases a young female in a nature setting. The feminine figure seems to wear an angelic white pure dress which associates her with the thoughts of her being caring and sensitive. The white background emphasis on this point. The young female seems to be sitting in an upright position suggesting that she is full of ego. Her hot flushed checks and her silky hair pined at the back of her head allows us to understand the female stereotypes back in that era. The nature setting used for this portrait showcases her feminine side to be portrayed in the simplest form. The colour white is associated with purity and has a connotation of being angelic. The slight glimpse of the tree shows use that the vocal point of this artwork is her sister. Frida may have wanted to showcase the idea of her sister fitting into the more feminine stereotypes than her. This therefore gives Frida the persona of having a more distinctive appearance. Many would have found the artwork alluring due to her feminine features being highlighted through the use of colour. This artwork illustrates the Renaissance style. When observing the face, I realise that Cristian doesn’t seem joyful. Cristina seems to be forced to fit into these stereotypes by society. The eyebrows seem arched suggesting that she might be angry. The inexpressive expression illustrates gloom that is trapped within her. Cristina might be felling miserable yet it is masked with the appearance and setting choice of this artwork. Overall, I find this artwork to be

    The painting consists of a very blue color scheme throughout. This is, in most cases, associated with coldness and sometimes death. The dark blue background also, as mentioned above, provided almost an extreme contrast. In addition to the background, her hair also dark. Had he chosen blonde hair, the contrast would dulled. Most importantly, the girl’s eyeliner very much brings out her eyes. It is strategically placed on her waterlines rather than lids to accentuate her eyeballs and provide incredibly sharp corners to her eyes. The coldness and “deathly” tone of the painting manifests an eerie and dangerous theme. The contrast and accentuation of the girl and her eyes inclines the audience to be intrigued by the girls fearlessness in a cold and deathly…

    What struck me when I first saw this painting, other than the pretty flower garland, is how brightly illuminated she was. Her porcelain skin is highlighted as if the sun or some form of light shines down on her. This is in contrast to everything else being much darker. The contrast between her bright aura and the dark surroundings could the author’s way of symbolizing Madame de Thorigny’s status and wealth. It could also be a way of emphasizing her being the focal point of the painting. I noticed her gaze…

    In addition, during the recuperation from her accident, Frida decided to enhance her creative skills and take painting seriously. She claimed that she commenced to paint out boredom. Having a full body cast and laying in bed all day gave her the idea to have a mirror placed across her bed and with that set, she could occupy herself drawing sketches and self portraits. Yet, Frida’s career as a painter started because of Diego. Therefore, to understand Frida it is important to know who Diego was as well. Using him to understand Frida, doesn’t mean taking away from her spot-light. In this research he will simply be used as a method of understanding Frida’s initial approach to art because he represents the beginning of her painting career. It is stated in the book that throughout his murals, “Diego Rivera sought to promote a pluralistic vision of Mexican society by drawing on the rich heritage pre-Colombian past and contemporary popular culture, and he investigated pre-Colombian styles and techniques in an effort to create aesthetic language was new and Mexican” (King, 212). Thereby, Frida approached Diego with one of her paintings and asked if it was a good painting.…

    Some objects in the painting are a pregnant woman, a burning candle, a skull, and a cross lying on the table under some books. The way the woman’s head is rested on her hand and she is staring into the candle light, shows that she is in deep thought. I believe that the woman is reflecting upon her life. She looks to be pregnant, which represents life. The unity of…

    In “The Two Fridas,” she uses various actions and clear setting to help viewers the theme of painting easily. The background is filled with the agitated clouds on the stormy dark sky and it obviously reflects her inner pain. Frida who sits on the left side portrays rejected Frida by her husband Diego Rivera. On the right, it represents loved and respected Frida by him. The two Fridas hold hands each other as if loved Frida tries to join unloved Frida’s suffering. It also implies her only companion is herself since she was six years old. She was isolated from other people due to her health problems. In “The bandaged ear,” Van Gogh pierces the viewer’s feeling using the facial expression rather than actions. His pale and thin face like Jesus Christ in a late medieval painting and every brushstroke that he made on the canvas tells his pitiful presence at the time. In fact, it is not easy to catching the purpose of the Japanese painting on the wall behind Van Gogh. For late 18th century, European artists considered the traditional Japanese art as a utopian aestheticism. So, he uses the Japanese painting for representing his lost paradise.…

    In the painting, it seems like she grew up mentally and the way she paints her necklace seems to be adding weight to her shoulders with this remarriage. In the 1940s, Frida became too ill to paint self- portraits because it included a lot of moving. She started painting things she sees like fruits, but she still added her deep meaning into the paintings. One painting she made is called Bride Frightened at seeing Life Opened. There are rumors that this painting is a self portrait in some way.…

    In the painting Frida is the focal point. She uses bright colours such as orange and yellow on her outfit to make herself stand out; she wears traditional Mexican clothing, a long dress with white material underneath and has her hair loose to show the combination of American and Mexican culture in her life. Frida is at a low advantage point she is looking down and there is distant land in the foreground this shows the isolation Frida feels in her life.

    I believe this painting shows a loss of identity. This is the reason I chose this as my favorite piece of art, because I can relate to it. There came a time in my life where I was struggling with my own identity. In today's world it is very significant to identify oneself with at least one thing (ones ethnicity, nationality, race, religion, or a particular belief). Many people still grapple with the notion of identity in many countries, regions, and various ways in order to fit or adapt into any environment (social, economic, cultural, political, etc). One’s identity determines ones position or situation in society wherever one lives. However, finding the right type of…

Plain antacid tablets are meant to be swallowed with water or other liquid. Effervescent tablets are available that will bubble and dissolve in water, and chewable tablets are meant to be chewed thoroughly before swallowing.
